I'm not sure I really get the love for the SLP sneakers. Ok, yes, ultra-minimal white sneaker, but still - they're retailing for 500, stan smiths look, I think, even nicer to me - and then, of course, you could always buy CP Lows or highs (or bball highs), which again, look better to me than the SLP high top. Reminds me of some station wagons, when you can see that it's just a sedan that someone slapped a hatchback onto: Hey look we took the tongue from raf simons and slapped it onto a pair of adidas with this weird ass ankle cuff thing.

I think there are like 3 of use who likes the hi's here and even less for the lows. So I am not sure there is much love on it at all.

As for CP, I just find the shape too weird for my foot. They are overly narrow, in the right length (41) the sides are bursting due to my wide feet but even when I size up to 42 the sides is still bursting and it just looks extra long. Can't judge the SLP yet since I haven't tried them on yet.

i have the same problem with CPs. the only pair i ever really wanted were the black mids but when I checked them out they were just too narrow. also with you on the SLP highs. i actually think they look good.

I wouldn´t waste that money on new SLP when you can find previous seasons YSL for that kind of money, or spend a little more and get KVA icarus, or even MMM hightops like noob has... if you can find them. Having said all that, I would understand someone wanting to get these new hightops if they were looking for something minimal and clean.

I have the MMM highs and while they're cool, those SLPs would be so much easier to wear.
